With the nd_namespace_blk and nd_blk_region infrastructures being removed,
the ndtest still has some references to the old code. So the
compilation fails as below,
../tools/testing/nvdimm/test/ndtest.c:204:25: error: ‘ND_DEVICE_NAMESPACE_BLK’ undeclared here (not in a function); did you mean ‘ND_DEVICE_NAMESPACE_IO’?

The current patch removes the specific code to cleanup all obsolete
references.

The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4
years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old
ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if
anyone screams.
Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of
users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so
the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that
/sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which
allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM".
The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax
and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version:
- ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+
- fio: v3.13+
- pmdk: v1.5.2+
As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions
have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.

The current test module cannot be used for testing platforms (make check)
that do not have support for NFIT. In order to get the ndctl tests working,
we need a module which can emulate NVDIMM devices without relying on
ACPI/NFIT.
The aim of this proposed module is to implement a similar functionality to
the existing module but without the ACPI dependencies.
This RFC series is split into reviewable and compilable chunks.
This patch adds a new driver and registers two nvdimm bus needed for ndctl
make check.
